“These outstanding individuals and firms epitomize the deep leadership and excellence that can be found today in firms that share our core value, We Place Families First. With so many contributors, it became a celebration of the many who have given to an industry that serves private families. In choosing the finalists and the winners, their accomplishments made it simple,” said Thomas R. Livergood, CEO & Founder of The Alliance. “We are very proud to honor these outstanding individuals and firms.”
Forum attendees came together to discuss important, new ideas - specifically addressing how security, technology, and the NextGen converge. They discussed the results of 2013 studies from Alliance Research, including findings from the inaugural Client Reporting Study and the newest from the Alliance Security Study, with results from firms and separately, private families. In addition, Livergood presented Alliance Critical Decisions: Ten Years Fore & Aft, followed that evening by recognition of leadership in ten award categories.
The Alliance is supported by its partner firms, for without their leadership, this research and gathering would not have been possible. They are: Babson Capital, Brinker Capital, HUB International, OppenheimerFunds, Rothstein Kass, Rockefeller & Co., Schroders, Summitas, and TriState Capital.
